The J-2 Visa
For spouses or underaged children of J-1 Visa holders
About the J-2 Visa
If you are the spouse or a child (under the age of 21) of a J-1 Visa applicant, you may qualify to join the J-1 holder in the U.S. as a J-2 dependent. In order for InterExchange to process your paperwork and issue J-2 Visa sponsorship, we will need the following documents:
- Signed J-2 Dependent Visa Sponsorship Agreement for all dependents over the age of 18
- Copy of your valid passport
- Biographical details, including your relationship to the J-1 applicant, emergency contact, and email address
- Full payment of the dependent fee and dependent insurance fee for each dependent. Read more about fee details.
Please note that while applying and arriving to the U.S. with the J-1 holder will expedite our approval process, it is possible for dependents to receive sponsorship after a J-1 has already been approved and arrived in the U.S.
